Speaking of the Young Napoleon Of
Finance, Mr.. e. L. Harper, who wrecked
the Fidelity Bank Of Cincinnati, tbs
Commercial Gaz5tte says that "after
desperate struggle, not lacking displays
of remarkable capacity in affairs, he
has been beaten and is down." We are
told apologetieally t1at Harper is only
thirty six veRrs Of age. ard that "lf he
had not eBjlyed start log successes he
would not nave plunged so profoundly
into difficulty Ia daring adventure
We are also called upon to remember
hat this bank wrecker and fOrger was
generous In his prosperity and That he
was overcome by temptation.
The tendency to apologize for men
who betrsy their trusts is quite com
mon. It often happens that the gentle
men who appropriate other peoples
money are liberal and dashing. They
are great business men. But they are
rascals, nevertheless. IL we are to have
a standard of commercial honesty wC
must teach men that business must he
conducted on legitimate principles
that the man who uses public funds
intrusted to him is thief; that the
banker who spaculates with the deposits
Of his COnfiding customers is sc0un

It is necessary that the business code

position on the part of Young Napole0ns
to yield TO temptation will be increased

The Higher Education of Women.

There was recently celebrated in Boston the
tenth anniversary Of the Massachusetts So
ciety for the University Education Of
Women, an organization little known to the
public which, according to its last report,
appears to have accomplished some significant
results. By this we mean that the society,
whose general purpose is indicated by its
name, has furnished some valuable data bear
ing upon the questions whether women are
desrous Of what is called tho higher educa-
ton, whether they are competent mentally
and as to their physical ability to pursue the
ssverer courses Of study. AL these points,
which to many appear to have been fairly
settled, are still called in question by those
whose standing entities them to an answer.
The Massachusetts society has assisted forty
FIVE young women, twelve within the last
year, and, Of course, has become intimately
acquainted with their circumstances and
work. AS to the desire of these girls for the
most advanced education, q writer, speaking
of the many stories of self sacrifice and devo-
ton to the purpose says:
GThis is the rule, not the exception. These
girls have earned money in many ways, from
tho medical student who served as night
nurse during the winter MONTHS while pur-
suing her studies, and as full nurse in the
GUNNER vacations, to tho girl who for two
WINNERS worked at q turning lathe because
It was moro profitable than teaching in a
summer school, They wait at hotel tables
and shop counters at the summer resorts; in
city shops for the holidays and Saturdays;
they teach evening schools out Of town after
.he days work in college is done, and they
walk weary miles il heat and Geld to save the
pittanco Of car fares"
Tho records of these girls, at Boston uni
versity, and professional schools, and in after
life, have abundaDtly demonstrated their
ability to advance side by side with men.
Their physical capacity las been wisely made
q matter of special consideration, and the 10.
port is, that "college work in itself will not
hurt healthy girl, but the labor by which
many girls put themselves through college is
often too arduous, and when they are away
from home and havo but little money they
are tempted to take too littlo nourishment and
to wear insufficient clothing" In other words,
the devotion to learning Of these young
women sometimes causes them to slight their
physical welfare. But when the body as well
as tho mind is cared for, they are abundantly
able to perform the tasks of a college curric-
ulum. The society, realizing the Importance
of this subject, has aided in equipping gym
nasium for the students Of Boston university,
and has arranged for sanitary lectures Of
practical character. Frank Leslie's.

Need of Ventilation.

In warm weather, young housekeepe1
must make daily Journey to the cellar to de
tect foul air; and they should see that proper
ventilation is observed here and throughout
the dwelling, at all times. Probably there is
no more prolific source of disease than poor
ventilation; and merely opening windows to
admit dir is not by any means all that is i'm
piled by proper ventilation Even free
circulation of air through rooms in which are
badly aired beds, neglected carpets, and an
accumulation of dust, will not entirely coun'
teract the i'll effects sure to arise from these
and similar reprehensible short comings
Children may be taught at an early age to
throw back the clothes from the bed, and tc
hang the night clothing where it will be
thoroughly aired, and the habit will cling to
them through life; it should be the duty Of
older persons to open windows, and otherwise
admit air to oil sleeping apartments as soon
as they are vacated in the morning. 1t is on
the seemingly trifing matters, which demand
the "eternal vigilance" of the house mother,
tlat the health and happiness of the family

Henry Ward Beecher said of old maids that
they were truly the salt of the earth, and
would take the highest seats in heaven 1t is
the fault Of education that an "old maid" is
neld up to ridicule and referred to with op
probrium; but surely woman who remains
single because her duty TO others demands il
is deserving of the highest praise-and scores
Of cases come to my mind while thinking Of
these grand souls, where women have re-
mained unmarried to care for aged parents
or bring up orphaned families; and equally
is sho to be commended, who, from a sense Of
duty to herself, does not marry because in the
opportunities offered she feels that she cannot
realize her ideal of true marriage, and prefers
rather to bo called an "old maid" than to un.
dergo the misery and loss of self respect sure
to result from an uncongenial union.-MrS E.

notlceably dlnerenu Ill the pose OF the head
and shoulders and the carriage of the body.
One had q wlllowy gracefulneSs and supple
ness, yet withal that uprightness and dignity
so often seen in Indian women, while tho
other, though no heavier, and not awkward,
conveyed no pleasing impression OF perfect
grace. And / thought how unfairly had
nature dealt with these two-with but 4
touch had she added an hundred fold to the
charms of one sister. ChaSce, however,
proved to me that nature had had nothing to
do with it. A debility, consequent upon
some illness, had suggested to the mother to
send this daughter, with the child of a Ger
man neighbor, to a German turning school,
where, certain afternoons in the week, was Il
class of gymnastics for young women and
children The exercise proving the desired
medicine for her health she was continued in
the class for several years-for this reason
alone-nor was it once thought Of to send the
we'll sister with her until 1t was realized too
late what these calisthepics had done for tht
one
Curiosity prompted me to accompany the
child ono day to her class and see for myself
Here found she could run like deer and
with equal grace; climb pole like monkey
and as quickly; jump from spring boaId d or
swing from trapeze or big iron rings II ie an
acrobat; lead a march like the pretty Gctress
in "The Merry War;" and, wonderful to re-
late, throw a ball like man-besideS many
other things-none in themselves particularly
desirable accomplishments for young women,
but every one we'll calculated to keep soms
one set of muscles in the 1.-the, active hody i'll

In a certain city dwells beautiful woman,
great belle To keep the suppleness of her
figure she stands one hour daily, fifteen min
utes at time, with hands on her hips before
q long mirror, and bending her knees out
from each other, sinks slowly down toward
the floor as low as possible then again al
slowly uprising; meantime moving her arms
in any way to their utmost length, out or up,
forward or back, until, when she stands
erect, they are ready to be placed on her bips
again. Each movement is repeated, every
time O little accelerated, until at the end Of
the thirteen minutes it is done quite quickly
and beautiful color is glowing in her
cheeks She then lies down on perfectly
fat couch, without pillow, until her breath
comes smooth and regular, as it will in tho
two minutes left III her quarter Of an hour.
To friend who asked how she could afford
10 spend the time, she replied: "When you
and shall be 45 | shall for this reason be
many more years younger than you than the
sum of these hours Of exercise" In summer,
when playing good deal of tennis, she cuts
down her exercising one-half.-Chicago

Whore Woman Is Queen.

In Ohio married woman's rights are CO.
equal with her husbands. If she owns sep
arate real estate she can sell and convey it
without consulting her husband If she wants
to mortgage or lease her farm or house and
lot she is at perfect liberty to do SO. If she
possesses personal property it is her own and
it will pass to her husband only by her con-
sent. The law regarding man and wife has
been completely revolutionized by a nero act
Of simplifcatlon. She can buy and sell, sue
and be sued in her own name without any in
tervention of her husband or "next friend"
If she is in debt when she narries, her hus-
band is not bound to pay the Indebtedness un-
less he chooses. The creditor must collect
from the real debtor. In other words, the
rights of man and wife are made exactly
Identical Whatever right the man possesses
under the marriage relation, the same right
is possessed by the wife without modification
or abridgment. According to the law OF
Ohio to-day, husband and wife are not one
person, but two separate and distinct indi-
viduals as far as their independent right to
acquire and dispose of personal, real and
mixed property is concerned. If she calls her
next door neighbor an antiquated parallelo-
gram and no better than the hypothenuse OF
right angle triangle, her unfortunate hus-
band is not bound to go into the court and be
mulcted In $4,000, more or less, for slander.
Some Of the most complicated and vexatious
litigation which has ever numbered up the
dockets of the Ohio courts, enriched lawyers
and impoverished widows and orphans, vii
be prevented and hereafter rendered impos
sible by this law.

lisa of the Fork.

As the fork is now almost exclusively used
to convey the food Of any consistency to the
mouth, it is more than ever desired that it be
gracefully handled. We sometimes see people
take the fork in the left hand and use it with
the tines turned upward-that is, spoon
fashion. Very often they are making an
extra effort to do what they suppose is the
proper thing. In reality they are handling
tho fork in about as awkward a manner as
could be easily devised When the fork is
held in the left hand the food should be taken
up and carried TO the mouth on the points og

used with the Tires poil&ed upward or down.

Thrift Of tho Fair Sex.

There are no persons for whom the quality,
or at least the possibility, of thrift is so i'm
portant as in the case Of women. Their op-
portunities Of earning money are generally
smaller than are those of men, and their
chances of losing it unquesionably greater
They may be less liable on the whole to have
others dependent on them, and yet they Gre
very commonly exposed to even this risk, the
person dependent being often ho on whom
the dependence sits least graciously-the hus-
band or the father Thrift is tho ability to
make little go great way, and to hold on
to that little; and the less there is, the more
the thrift is needed.
How often are women led into investing
their little all in some uncertain enterprise
merely because they know that some rich
neighbor has done the same! "If Mr. Blank
puts his money there" they say, "it is surely
safe for me-" But the difference is that Mr..
Blank, having few hundred thousands put
past tie possibility of risk into United States
securities, can afford to amuse himself as he
likes with the rest of his money. He can
afford to make doubtful investments, whereas
if the woman loses her little hoard she has
lost absolutely everything, so far as worldly
possessions go. So of that commonest form
of loss, the lending of the sisters little fund
to the brothers, SO that they can go into busi-
ness. aDear David knows SO much better
than we how to make use Of this money y
whereas If David knows enough to be trusted
with his own money, he ought to know
enough to leave that Of his sister where his
accidental bankruptcy will not molest it.
That part of thrift which consists in max
ing careful bargains belongs more to women
than to men. They are moro patient IN in
vestigation, slower in deliberation, more mi
croscopic in calculation. OF young couple
going to housekeeping the husband will COM
monty make up his mind TO buy the whole
house after less of anxious scrutiny than the
wife will bestow on the cooking stove alone;
and it viii sometimes take the sum of her
economies to balance single bold Extrava-
gance of his. Her business virtues are more
negative than his-the absence Of Gebt, the
absence Of daring investments-and doubtless
the husband is sometimes right in thinking
that a bolder policy may in some particular
case be right. Some Of this courage comes
from the fact that mer. are used to dealing
lat least in imagination) with larger sums.
They are talking about possible profits Of
thousands, while their wives aro debating the
question between something at 81 yard and
something at S71S cents. l remember tc
